The video below is currently tracking as one of the day’s most-viewed clips, with over 500,000 views in less than 24 hours. Created by the Israel Defense Force’s Spokesperson’s Unit, it provides an annotated overhead view of the main skirmish aboard the Turkish ship Mavi Marmara, which includes clear instances of soldiers being attacked. (This is not something you’d typically expect to see a military organization do.)

While the IDF attempts to prove that their actions were justified, Al Jazeera’s YouTube channel has footage from the aftermath of the attack from a journalist who was on board the Mavi Marmara. Reporter Jamal Eishayyal’s update includes repetition of the fact that despite a white flag being flown, live rounds were still being fired.

See how we attacked them as soon as they landed on deck!!!! Look closely, we decked one of them with a crowbar!!!

There’s no way for the complexities of this incident, political and humanitarian alike, to be summed up by YouTube clips. But it engages people in the debate in a very different way, when they’re actually able to see what happened.
